A leading warehouse and cargo transportation company based in South Florida, transformed their warehouse operations and cargo transportation by using Oracle EBS R12 Supply Chain solution. Disparate systems and processes are streamlined from end to end, providing best practices inherent in the Oracle Supply Chain schema. Processes from Dock Receipt, Booking, Tariff Rating, Bill of Lading, Stuffing, and Loading Containers to the final Invoicing are now seamlessly integrated, driving process efficiencies across enterprise. Skybridge also designed various interfaces for their 3rd party vendors including Hazcheck and Border Patrol.

The Oracle solution reduced dependencies on these external vendors, providing savings of up to $250K per annum to the customer.

The company now uses the Oracle system in its entire operation of receiving, put-away, picking, and shipping at its 5 warehouses.

Oracle solution has cut down order picking time by 25%, decreased receiving time from 8 hours to 2, and provided robustness and flexibility in the warehouse and transportation operations.

This case study will highlight the solution provided, methodology and its approach in making this implementation a success.

Gartner is reporting a steady increase in the inquiries about canceling maintenance agreements with software providers. With the cost of software support and maintenance increasing annually, it is important to understand that there are options beyond software publisher provided maintenance.

Actifio helps hundreds of global enterprise customers and service provider partners in more than 30 countries around the world virtualize their data, just as they virtualized their servers and networks.Our Virtual Data Pipeline™ technology decouples data from infrastructure, enabling dramatic improvements in business resiliency, agility, and access to the cloud.

Actifio replaces siloed data management applications with a radically simple, application-centric, SLA-driven approach that lets customers capture data from production applications, manage it more economically, and use it when and where they need. The result is enterprise data available for any use, anytime, anywhere, for less.

With more than two exabytes of application data under management, our customers have freed themselves from the bonds of traditional siloed data management with our radically simple approach.

Actifio VDP virtualizes Oracle data, allowing IT adminstrators to provide data protection, test & development, analytics, as well as disaster recov- ery and business continuity all through a single storage platform, from only one golden copy of your production data. Actifio allows IT admin- strators to access a single, any point-in-time copy of your primary data, through a mount, clone, LiveCloneTM, or restore operation. The approach to properly Capture, Manage, and Use data is Radically Simple.

Actifio VDP delivers the unique capability of enabling applications to directly use point-in-time copy data, without the need for a traditional “restore” operation. Application data from any point-in-time copy can be accessed on any system for recovery, development, testing, analytics or dozens of other common use cases. Actifio VDP offers vast flexibility when accessing data with options for secure, roles-based control of data management for multi-tenancy, virtual images from any point-in-time, and various image types.

Master Data Management (MDM) is critical to any Organization, regardless of its size, which has multiple business processes that utilize Master Data elements. MDM creates a ‘Single Source of Truth’ and effectively drives these business processes. Organizations often lack an effective MDM strategy that results in poor Data Quality and poses a serious risk, especially as data volumes grow.

This session will discuss Chain-Sys’ appMDM tool, which provides a comprehensive end-to-end MDM solution that can be leveraged for specific domains such as Customers, Suppliers, Items etc., and can be rolled out incrementally providing a cost effective and easy-to-manage solution to institute governance around Master Data.

The appMDM tool consolidates master data from multiple sources into a Central Data Hub using pre-configured Templates. A Master Data Governance Group controls the MDM process with built-in work flow functionality & approval processes, and allows for easy Data Integration between the Hub and multiple Source Applications.
